What are the different question types?

We have several survey question types that will help you collect the data your need. When you add/edit questions, an interactive preview on the right side of your screen will show the changes you're making, while you're making them.

Multiple choice questions allow the respondent to choose between the multiple response options presented. The multiple choice questions can be customized to allow the respondent to choose either one or more of the options listed, depending on your specific needs.
